During his Thanksgiving demonstration at the Food Network NYC Wine and Food Festival, Bobby Flay made a scrumptious-sounding stuffing. I've been looking for an exciting new recipe to include on my Thanksgiving day menu, so I decided to give his recipe for wild rice and goat cheese stuffing a try. The rich stuffing is packed with delicious flavors: fragrant chorizo, milky cheese, and fresh herbs that combine to create a dish full of contrasts. It's moist yet crunchy, spicy yet creamy, and incredibly addictive. I'm contemplating doing a Southwestern-themed dinner, so I can make this stuffing, it's that good.

There are few things that can top stuffing as my comfort food of choice around this time of year. Is there anything more blissful than eating the chewy, savory goodness, warm and right out of the oven?

Dressing made with chestnuts is a tradition that remains popular in certain parts of New England, as the nuts impart rich, roasted flavor and starchy body. Chestnuts are also in season during the Fall, so they make the perfect accent to this timely side dish. To see both a basic and a slightly more challenging recipe, read more

We are just one day away from Memorial Day weekend, the start of Summer, which means it’s bathing suit shopping season! When you’re a kid, it's all about finding your favorite colors and prints, but now we actually have to worry about how we look in a swimsuit. Is the cut right?

Similar to how a relationship gives you a chance to slack a little in your usual beauty routine, the weekend gives you a chance to abandon the typical workday clothes for your weekend wear. I tend to save my comfy jeans with the faded knees for errand running and my old sandals for shopping, but I have friends who use the weekend to wear all of their cutest, non-professional attire. So ladies, do tell, how does your weekend look differ from that of your weekday?

A coworker has invited you to her birthday party at her house. You haven’t spent a lot of time outside of the office yet, but your friendship has grown and you want to get to know her on a deeper level. You decide to go even though you won’t know anyone else there. The invitation said "chic cocktail soirée" so you get all gussied up in your favorite dress and funky pair of heels. When you arrive at the party, you’re absolutely horrified to find yourself in a fashion nightmare. Would it be worse if . . .

This: You’re completely over dressed, which you’re reminded of every time someone asks you where you’re going after the party? Apparently everyone else thinks chic soirée means jeans and a print tee with sandals.

Or . . .

That: You happen to be wearing the exact same dress as one of the other women there and in the same color? It’s bright purple so there’s no way to hide it — you're totally humiliated and you’ve already gotten a few bitter stares from the other girl.
